What would be my score now, not having used a single stroke?
It looks like you've used over 7 strokes. Every time you roll the dice it's a stroke.
Looking at it, I can only assume your very first roll was a 6 and that the 2 other dice were the same (so your deviation was 0). That's the only way to move in a straight line for 6.
yes I had several perfect shots with 2 dice being the same. But as I read the rules: instead of rolling dice you could do a single stroke. So I asumed rolling dice doesn’t tick off a stroke box. But reading your reply, apparent it does 😅
why do you get points when using a stroke? I would have thought you would get penalty points instead.
Ah, I see the "+" is confusing. The rules say " At the end of the course use the furthest-right filled square in each section as your final score (Strokes, Perfect Shot, Gems). Add them together for your total score." So it's not add up every box in the row.
ah right, I see now, simple case of RTFM ;-)
Ha, I definitely struggle with making things as clear as possible. Makes sense to me, but that's only because I've stared at it forever!
Yeah I can imagine that happens and you are creating some much as well
Love it. As usual, tight, easy mechanics with fun presentation.
Some questions:
These are all good questions, and the first one is the reason I came on here looking for answers. My guess is pass-through hole, but land on gem.. it should specify in rules but maybe since it mentions the specific condition of landing on it to get a perfect shot means you CAN score normally by just passing through the hole..? That or we are reading the end blurb wrong and it actually just implies that when you do eventually land on it, to mark a perfect shot. Just as a final 'gift'... idk.
edit, if 'passthrough' is allowed, I'm guessing it's only on the power shot and not deviation? (assuming your power shot leaves you close to the hole and the deviation passes through it)
Also I'm assuming if you pass through a wall with a perfect shot, you are counting the wall as as move and not skipping over it, correct?
Also today I re/learned the word orthogonally.
Well, the other way you can finish a hole is using the “putt” that allows you to just move one square without rolling. In that case the bonus is for not using that to end the hole (which can be tough).
Oh wow I overlooked that! Didn't know what it was implying.
Howdy! Thanks for playing!
Some clarifications in hopes it helps: a Perfect Shot is only when your deviation is 0. Meaning the 2 dice that subtract from each other has to be 0.
1. If you move through a hole's square but still have movement left to do you miss the hole and it keeps going. The chip-in bonus means even with deviation, you get that "Perfect Shot" bonus. Putting is not a "shot" per se since you're not rolling anything.
2. Gems are only gotten if you land on them.
3. If it would end on a wall, you will not be able to make the shot.
Did you intend for the 200 puzzles to be free?
Yep, just for a little bit. Grab it while you can!
